Real Names Of Celebrities, Who Are They?

Thursday we asked you what’s in a name Well now we want to know who’s name it is, for instance, Tom Mapother, or Cheryl Sarkisian or Margaret Hyra? Even though you don’t recognize their names these are all very famous people, but who were they, name wise?

The Huffington Post came out with a list of celebrities and their real names, and some I wouldn’t be able to figure out if you paid me, like Margaret Hyra…who the heck is that? Answer: Meg Ryan. (When Meg decided to shorten her first name, she also went by the name of Peggy, which is also short for Margaret) How about Tom Mapother? Answer: Tom Cruise, which of course sounds much slicker than Tom Mapother! What about Pat Benatar? Answer: Patricia Mae Andrzejewski…WOW! (Actually, her last name Benatar was her married name before she married her hubby of over 30 years, Neil; her then hubby was her high school sweetheart Dennis Benatar. After they divorced, she was better known by her married name Benatar, and decided to keep that professional name, which, in this case, I think was a good move! Check out the list of celebrity names below and see if you think they made a good name in coming up with a “stage” name. Have you ever changed your name?
